Product Destruction Services

Protect your brand. Reduce your liability. Eliminate unauthorized distribution.
In today’s digital marketplace, product recalls, outdated packaging, and counterfeit goods can harm your brand. Without proper disposal, these materials can end up on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, and eBay, or even sold in bulk at flea markets. That’s why product destruction is not just a waste solution; it’s a way to protect your brand.

Secure Destruction (Witness Destruction)

For high-risk situations that require close attention, Emerald Energy from Waste offers Secure Destruction, also known as Witness Destruction. This service provides the highest level of trust and accountability.

Secure Destruction is ideal for industries with strict compliance requirements, such as the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail and corporate sectors that handle sensitive information.

It’s more than disposal — it offers visibility, trust and protection as part of your waste management plan.

 

Secure Destruction process:

 

  1. Materials undergo immediate destruction through energy recovery rather than being stored and staged.
  2. Clients can personally monitor the destruction from a dedicated viewing area.
  3. Security seals are broken on-site for complete transparency and assurance of chain of custody.
  4. We provide a Certificate of Destruction once the process is complete.
  5. Optional video footage is accessible for audit or regulatory purposes.

Energy Recovery with Environmental Integrity

Unlike landfill disposal, our product destruction process converts waste into clean energy. This way, we keep materials out of landfills, which helps your organization meet its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, while ensuring security and compliance.

 

      • Reduces carbon emissions
      • Supports circular economy goals
      • Keeps sensitive material out of the marketplace
